"August 31 - Clay Bellinger blooped a go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning and Aaron Judge and Austin Wells homered as the visiting New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Saturday for their seventh straight win. The Yankees moved within two games of the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays while stretching their lead over the Boston Red Sox for the first AL wild-card berth to 1 1/2 games."
"Wells went deep to put New York ahead 2-1 in the seventh. Chicago tied the game on Meidroth's RBI single in the bottom half. With the game tied 2-2, Volpe bunted automatic runner Austin Wells to third to start the 10th, but the Yankees didn't score. Meidroth cut down Wells at the plate on Ryan McMahon's groundout to second base."
"Schlittler took a Brooks Baldwin line drive off his throwing arm two batters earlier but recovered to retire Baldwin and remained in the game. The rookie right-hander scattered four hits while yielding one run in six innings. He walked while one matching a career high with eight strikeouts. Smith, a fellow rookie righty, also took a no-decision. He allowed two runs and three hits in 6 1/3 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts."
